I have always used Aleene's with great success for the past 20 years. I first pour the solution onto a piece of plastic wrap and use another piece to work the solution in, to keep my hands out of the solution as much as possible Then I blot the saturated piece with a dampened paper towel to let the knots be defined. From there I shape the piece and let it dry.
Thanks Kathy!! It is good to know you have had 20 years of success with this product. I agree, why try something else when this product works.
Does this product turn your white tatted items yellow with age?
